If you believe HPQ can sustain its low-teens earnings multiple despite much weaker margins and growth than ADBE, then a relative-value long case is reasonable because the current price is below ADBE-implied value of $39.74; otherwise, the DCF range and HPQ’s own historical band argue for a more cautious stance.
HPQ trades at a deep discount to ADBE on P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue, with the market assigning far less value to HPQ’s lower-growth, lower-margin business model. The implied price of $39.74 sits 45.7% above the current $27.27 price, but that upside estimate conflicts with HPQ’s historical band and DCF range.
